Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Hoamsy is a verifiable, active marketplace for local experiences operating in multiple US cities (Boston, Austin, Dallas, etc.) with hundreds of past events. However, the project submission itself was of extremely poor quality, featuring demonstrably false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience: everyone'). While the platform demonstrates real-world utility and verified traction (revenue generation, growing inventory), the score is heavily penalized by the lack of transparency in the submission and the exaggerated reach claims. It fits the 'Small but promising' category based on external verification, despite the red flags in the input data.
